What is the best way to get haskell’s extensible-exceptions library installed on stable? Is there a good way to install ghc6 > 6.10 , or a good way to use cabal to install the library?
(Alternatively, how can the haskell platform be installed on stable?)

I would guess best approach would be to do a backport of the corresponding packages and offer them through the backports.debian.org service, either giving that a try on your own, or asking the haskell team for help wether they would be interested to offer it for their users on themself.
Just for those checking backports now: there is no ghc6 backport.
I guess the approach I’m going to use for now is to build the binary using haskell on a Debian testing system. Binaries built with a newer ghc do run on stable.
